Field notes
The utility uses the Mac’s existing login Keychain rather than introducing an account or remote storage layer. Its documented retrieval flow keeps values masked until explicitly revealed and clears copied values after 30 seconds if they remain unchanged. The current access path is source-based: the homepage lists macOS 14+, Xcode Command Line Tools, a clone command, and a build script. It also cautions that signed, notarized distribution is not yet available.
